This is probably the first time in WarioWare that we see an extended conversation. I always like how Wario stays calm, even when he is slightly insulted.
And for penny, this made her a more appreciated character to me.
Yeah, I was never that interested in Penny as a character until I saw her dialogue. She's just such a lovable character when she has the chance to talk. Wario was also probably the perfect character to put her in a conversation with for that effect.
That's an unfortunate consequence of the gameplay format the cast exists in.
The characters all represent a stage in a sense, with each (well, most) of them getting a unique microgame set and putting their own note on each stage with their own personalitys and even several running themes, such as Crygor and his many inventions, Mona always having a different job or Dribble and Spitz with their many alien encounters.
While that's all great, it unfortunatly means that the characters don't really exist outside of their own stages, everyone does his/her own thing in the one stage they have for themselves and that's where it pretty much ends.
Granted you can have characters meet within the different storys, which we have seen several times in the past, such as Mona appearing in Young Cricket's Smooth Moves story, but even that doesn't give a lot of room for meaningful interactions and the way the games are structured inherently secludes the cast from each other, the DIY tutorial was one time where they weren't restricted by any of that and I think it was handled quite nicely.
Yeah, this is the thing I never understood about WarioWare.
They build up a whole world and come up with all these crazy unique and fun characters (even moreso than Mario, at that), but all they're going to do with them is have them categorize microgame sets? Come on.
